Book Description
Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 3-57.10, Civil Affairs Support to Populace and Resources Control, establishes the techniques and procedures used by individuals, teams, and units of United States (U.S.) Army Civil Affairs (CA) forces, as well as planners of civil-military operations (CMO) at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. The techniques and procedures prescribed in this manual are used when engaging other government agencies (OGAs), indigenous populations and institutions (IPI), intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and other military and nonmilitary entities in support of conventional and special operations (SO) missions. This manual elaborates on doctrine contained in Field Manual (FM) 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations. The principal audience for ATP 3-57.10 is the Army Civil Affairs force, officers, and noncommissioned officers who support joint and Army forces or serve on the staffs that support those commanders of operations at all levels of war. It is also an applicable reference for the interagency. As with all doctrinal manuals, ATP 3-57.10 is authoritative but not directive. It serves as a guide and does not preclude CA personnel or units from developing their own standard operating procedures (SOPs). The techniques and procedures presented in this manual should not limit CA forces from using their civilian-acquired skills, training, and experience to meet the challenges they face while conducting CA operations and providing support to CMO. This publication applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and, in some cases, host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. (See FM 27-10, The Law of Land Warfare.) ATP 3-57.10 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and the text. For definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition. This publication is not the proponent for any Army terms. Unless this publication states otherwise, masculine nouns and pronouns do not refer exclusively to men. The proponent of this publication is the United States Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWCS). The preparing agency is the Doctrine Division, Civil Affairs Branch Directorate, USAJFKSWCS, Fort Bragg, NC.

Book Description
Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-57.30 Civil Affairs Support to Nation Assistance provides doctrine for the integration of Civil Affairs operations (CAO)/civil-military operations (CMO) into the operations process. The manual provides techniques and procedures for CAO planning, training, and execution of missions in support of nation assistance (NA). The intent is to establish a common foundation for Civil Affairs (CA) forces to apply their unique skills in support of United States (U.S.) objectives to promote long-term stability, pluralistic government, and sound democratic institutions in the host nation (HN). The ATP prescribes the programs included within the joint concept of NA operations: foreign internal defense (FID), security assistance (SA), and Title 10, United States Code (10 USC), Armed Forces, programs and activities. This manual also provides a generic CAO appendix to act as a guide in developing supporting documentation for operational plans (OPLANs). NA operations support the HN with the technical expertise, advice, and assistance that can exponentially influence the success of other ongoing programs and initiatives. ATP 3-57.30 elaborates on doctrine contained in Field Manual (FM) 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations. The principal audience for ATP 3-57.30 is the Army Civil Affairs force, officers, and noncommissioned officers who support joint and Army forces or serve on the staffs that support those commanders of operations at all levels of war. It is also an applicable reference for the interagency. It provides techniques and procedures for the conduct of NA operations, one of the five core tasks of CAO. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and, in some cases, HN laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. ATP 3-57.30 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and the text. For other definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition.

Book Description
ATP 3-57.50 establishes the techniques used by CA forces for development of civil information management (CIM) requirements that reside in FM 3-57. CIM is one of the five core tasks of CA forces. CA forces provide the commander with expertise on the civil component of the OE. CIM is the process that develops the civil component information critical to the commander's CMO planning. The CIM process, when conducted correctly, provides the commander with accurate, timely, and accurate information to develop courses of action (COAs) that promote the growth, legitimacy, and ultimate transfer of authority to the HN. ATP 3-57.50 consists of 8 chapters and 2 appendixes: C1 provides an introduction to the CIM process and details the need for data on the civil component of the OE for the commander's CMO. The chapter further discusses the role and responsibilities of CA forces in relationship to CIM and the operational processes. C2 discusses planning and the way CIM incorporates the data into the planning process. Specifically, a discussion of the roles of CA forces integrated in the support of intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) and offensive tasks. The chapter provides techniques and considerations for CA forces conducting CIM in support of commanders conducting CMO. C3 describes the collection phase of CIM and the techniques used by CA forces to collect the civil data that begins the CIM process. This chapter specifically covers civil reconnaissance (CR), data mining, collaboration, and the integration of these methods into the CIM process. C4 is designed to assist CA forces with the collation of collected civil data while assigned to CA units, G-9/S-9 staffs, or in CA plans officer positions. This chapter provides guidance for support conventional forces and Army special operations forces (ARSOF). C5 details the processing of CIM data by CA forces. This chapter is designed to assist CA forces with the processing of collated civil data while conducting operations in support of commander's CMO plans. The chapter provides guidance for operational and tactical CA forces through all phases of the operation. This chapter provides information that will assist CA forces in synchronizing processing efforts. C6 provides a detailed discussion on analysis of CIM data and incorporation of this data into useful guidance for the supported commander. In this chapter, extra emphasis is placed on understanding how the analysis of civil information supports the operations process and the requirement of CA forces to be proficient and articulated during this step of the CIM process. C7 is designed to assist CA forces with CIM production in support of the commander and staff. This chapter provides guidance for the production of CIM products and considerations that will assist in the production process through all phases of operations. This chapter discusses methods of integrating CIM products into the operational process and emphasizes the synchronization of the products into the planning cycles of supported staffs. C8 details the dissemination of CIM products to the supported commander and staff. The chapter stresses the importance of providing critical information in a format that the force can use to make appropriate decisions about the civil component of the area of operations (AO). App. A provides the Army's format for the development of Appendix 3 (Civil Information Management) to Annex K (Civil Affairs Operations) within the OPORD format. The appendix provides detailed explanations of the situational paragraph, executive paragraph, and the assessment matrix needed to assess CIM measures. App. B provides an example of civil analysis. The civil information is depicted through political, military, economic, social, information, infrastructure, physical environment, and time (PMESII-PT) and is broken down into specific groupings of raw data using areas, structures, capabilities, organizations, people, and events (ASCOPE).

Book Description
The United States Army Civil Affairs forces are the Department of Defense's primary force specifically trained and educated to shape foreign political-military environments by working through and with host nations, regional partners, and indigenous populations. These forces, and the operations they conduct, are the commander's asset to purposefully engage nonmilitary organizations, institutions, and populations. The U.S. military can expect escalating challenges from ever-increasing operations in complex civil-military environments. Commanders at all levels must pursue integrated whole-of-government approaches to successfully engage the civil dimension of the modern battlefield. As such, CA forces offer unique capabilities that not only enhance the military mission but also ultimately advance U.S. interests. Properly employed CA forces help shape the environment and set the conditions for transition operations. Appendix A provides additional information on transition operations. CAO involve the interaction of CA forces with the civilian populace and institutions to facilitate military operations and consolidate operational objectives. A supportive civilian population can provide resources and information that facilitate friendly operations. It can provide a positive climate for the military and for the nation to pursue diplomatic activities that achieve foreign policy objectives. A hostile civilian population threatens the immediate operations of in-country friendly forces and often undermines public support and the policy objectives of the United States and its allies. Properly executed CAO reduces the friction between the civilian population and the military force, and accelerates the return of civil functions to indigenous control. Field Manual (FM) 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations, provides the doctrinal basis for the conduct of operations in support of the joint force commander's (JFC's) civil-military operations (CMO) concept. It provides Army commanders with the information necessary for the integration of Civil Affairs (CA) capability in support of unified land operations. FM 3-57 clarifies the role of CA forces in support of CMO with regard to the missions, employment, support requirements, capabilities, and limitations of these forces. CA forces support missions in every theater, in peace and war, throughout unified land operations. CA forces are a combat multiplier for every commander. CA forces are one of the primary resources a commander has to assist him in dealing with the complex and ever-changing civil component of the operational environment. CA forces are trained, organized, and equipped to plan, execute, and assess the JFC's concept for CMO. They are essential elements in the support of the commander by virtue of their area and linguistic orientation, cultural awareness, training in military to host nation (HN) advisory activities, and civilian professional skills that parallel common government functions.

Book Description
Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-57.60 Civil Affairs Planning April 2014 expands the doctrinal discussion of the role of CA forces supporting Army and joint operational planning that resides in FM 3-57, Civil Affairs Operations. Publication of ATP 3-57.60 incorporates revisions to the Army's running estimate and operation plan (OPLAN) formats. Support of operational planning by CA forces occurs at all levels of war-strategic, operational, and tactical. Whether conducted by CA Soldiers assigned to the staffs of various mission command headquarters or by CA planning teams augmenting those organizations, planning for U.S. forces' interaction with the civil component of the operational environment (OE) is required across the range of military operations. Publication of ATP 3-57.60 replaces CA planning doctrine found in FM 3-05.401 /Marine Corps Reference Publication 3-33.1A, Civil Affairs Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures. ATP 3-57.60 consists of five chapters and four appendixes: Chapter 1 provides techniques used by CA Soldiers used in conducting civil considerations analysis and analysis of the operational variables during planning. The discussion further provides techniques used in determining centers of gravity (COGs) as they relate to the civil component of the OE, MOEs, and MOPs. Chapter 2 describes techniques used in the application of the CA methodology in the execution of TLP and problem solving. Detailed planning considerations are provided for the analysis of civil considerations in the conduct of TLP. Chapter 3 discusses the role of the CA planner in the execution of the MDMP. The chapter provides techniques used by CA planners during each of the seven steps of the MDMP. Chapter 4 describes the role of CA planners in the execution of the JOPP. The chapter provides a discussion of the linkage required in the planning of CAO supporting the joint force commander's CMO intent and concept of operations (CONOPS). The discussion provides techniques used by CA planners during each step of the JOPP. Chapter 5 provides techniques and planning considerations used by CA Soldiers in supporting the development of a transition plan. It describes the various types of transition and provides a listing of transition tasks that assist the CA planner to identify and prioritize those tasks required for transition. Appendix A details the procedures and provides an example format for the completion of the CA area study. Appendix B details the procedures and the format for the development of Annex K (Civil Affairs Operations) to an Army OPLAN or operation order (OPORD). Appendix C details the procedures and the format for the development of the CAO running estimate. Appendix D addresses planning considerations regarding personnel protection issues during all phases of deliberate and crisis action planning and general considerations used in conducting urban area operations.
